Metal Mining in Washington.
The total value of the gold, silver,
copper and lead from the state of
Washington in 1910, according to C.
N. Gerry of the United States geolog
ical survey, was $968,249, against
I is,'. Hit; in 1909. The output for
1910 was the largest in gold, silver
and lead, and the smallest in copper
for six years, The production of
gold in 1910 was $788,145, against
$362,051 in 1909; that of silver
was 205,345 fine ounces, valued at
$110,886, against 79,488 ounces,
•valued at $41,334; that of copper
86,918 pounds, valued at $11,038,
against 255,134 pounds, valued at
$33,167; and that of lead 1,322,287
pounds, valued at $58,180, against
288,700 pounds, valued at $12,414.
The number of producing mines in
Washington increased from 11 pla
cers and 35 deep mines in 1909 to 21
placers and 55 deep mines in 1910.
The placers produced, however, only
$3,859 in gold in 1910. The deep
mines produced 59,209 tons of ore
in 1910, an increase of 22,901 tons
over the output of 1909. The, Re

■ News from the Italian-Turkish war
has In the main been confined to rum
ors of hostilities and subsequent de
nials or corrections of such state
ments. The Italian government has
been very successful in keeping the
particulars regarding the movement
of her forces very quiet. The Turkish
government is not in a position to
know just what happened at Tripoli.
It is pretty certain, however, that the
Italian fleet has through a successful
bombardment, gained control of the
harbor and town of Tripoli. The Ital
ians evidently have control of the
cables, as news reports from that
town are very meagre.
Turkey has offered little resistance
so far, having directed most of her
energies to repeated appeals to the
powers for intervention. The truth is
that Turkey is in a very unfavorable
position to carry on a war at the pres
ent time. Although she has an excel
lent army her navy is not of sufficient
power to take it to the scene of hos
tilities without being in great danger
of capture by the big Italian fleets.
Furthermore, Turkey lias only $5,
--000,000 with which to carry on a war
which gives promise of requiring an
expenditure of not less than $50,
--000,000.
All the powers have tints far refus
ed to attempt intervention until Tur
key will partially concede to Italy's
demands. It is understood, however,
that Russia and Germany are quietly
attempting to bring about a peaceful
settlement. Popular sentiment rather
favors the cause of Turkey against
the methods that Italy has used in
forcing her demands. Governmental
and political circles seem to agree
that Italy is entitled to all she can
get if she successfully governs the
mixed and troublesome population of
the political lemon that she has cap
tured.
Students of history will watch eag
erly for the information that will
be the result of one of the most dar
ing and difficult journies ever at
tempted by a white woman alon>:.
Miss Elizabeth Kendall, professor of
history at Wellesley college, accord
ing to reports from Boston, is at
the present time crossing the great
Mongolian desert, the last part of
her trip into the forbidden lands of
China and India, "the birthplace of
history." Her search for data has
led her to go where passports were
forbidden her. to points where but
very few white people have ventured.

Between two and three hundred
people were killed at Austin, Perm.,
on Saturday. September 30, when
the big dam of the Bayless Pulp and
Paper Co. was broken by the enor
mous volume of water that it held.
What was left of the town after the
water had swept through was made
desolate by fire in the broken gas
mains. The dam was known to be
defective, according to reports, but
the people took chances on it. in or
der to keep the good will of the big
corporation upon which the town de
pended. The Bayless Pulp & Paper
Co. was one of the largest concerns
of its kind in the world.

Union workers in the shops of the

tral went out on a general strike
last week. The companies are at
tempting to break it up by employing
strike-breakers. Bloodshed has re

try. Present developments seem to
forecast a general tie-up of the Harri

By the retirement of Solicitor Gen

of the people, becomes supreme.
Another week's development in
President Taft's trip seems to show
four reasons for his transcontinental
journey. In the first place.he Is very
anxious to explain to the people his
reasons for vetoing the recent tariff
bills; secondly, he hopes to find out
by personal observation what the po
litical feelings of the people are;
third, he desires to overcome the
western dislike for the public land
policies of his administration; and
fourth, he wishes to strengthen pub
lic sentiment In favor of his arbitra
tion treaties. The middle west heard
his tariff speeches while the states
of Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho
were favored with his views on con
servation and the disposal of the
public lands.
On Thursday President Taft said
that the administration would be
even- more diligent in the prosecu
tions of illegal combinations. On Fri

The death of Cromwell Dixon, "the
boy aviator," at the Spokane Inter
state Fair, was a serious blow to avi
ation. Dixon, although only nineteen
years old, had already become fam
ous in the conquest of the air and he
gave promise as an important member
in the future development of avia
tion. His feat in crossing the conti
nental divide of the Rockies in a
flight from the fair grounds at Hel
ena, Is one that will be long remem
bered.
Gipsy Smith has been holding evan
gelical meetings in Spokane the past
week. Smith is a plain-spoken, old
fashioned preacher, with a personal
magnetism that almost places his au

language but frowns upon the intro
duction, of slang.
Spokane had the best Interstate
Fair 'of its history this year. The in
creased attendance has led the man
agement to make plans to almost dou
ble its size next year. •

ter, '13; W. L. Davis, '14 anw A. w

College Band Strong in Race for $350
Prizo
The big event of the Fourth Na
tional Apple Show will take place on
Inland Empire day, when the bands
of the Inland Empire will compete
for three prizes, the firs,, ncine; $260,
the second $150 and the third $100.
All bands out of Spokane will com
pete and will be judged on the fol
lowing points: Music, numbers, ap
pearance and military drill.
With a month and a half yet to get
in shape before the appointed day
it looks as through the $250 will find
a resting place in the treasury of the
State College band. The judging of
points, music, numbers, appearance
and military drill are all to the good
with the organization which was vot
ed the finest amateur band in the
Northwest at the Lewis and Clarke
World's fair.
In addition to the band prizes three
other sets of prizes will be awarded
on Inland Empire day. Each city and
community is expected to have one or
more floats representing their com
munity and what they produce, to
gether with a brass band and as many
boosters as they can muster to take
part in the grand parade and for the
best general showing of any commit*
Ity as to band, floats, and numbers
three respective awards are to be
made; a silver cup, a banner, and an
engraved certificate. Arrangements
are being made to have the city of
Pullman represented.
A special prize of $100 is offered
for the best juvenile band to be judg
ed on the same points as the other
bands.
Then there will also be a first prize
of a silver cup, second prize a banner,
and an engraved certificate for third
prize, to be awarded to the floats in
the parade with the best general ap
pearance, adaptability to localities
represented and novelty.
Instead of having a Queen of the
Apple Show as last year, a King will
be selected, but each community rep
resented will be expected to choose
some young lady to represent them as
their Princess. The traveling and
hotel expenses of these Princesses
will he paid and likewise the rail
road fare of each band.
